Abstract

Albizzia julibrissin Durazz (Leguminosae) is a small domed to flat-topped, spreading tree with smooth. gray-brown bark and doubly pinnate leaves. It grows abundantly in Korea. The dried stem bark of A. julibrissin is used as a tonic in China, Japan and Korea. From the stem bark of A. ju/ibrissin, a new unsaturated hydroxy fatty acid was isolated and characterized as 4-hydroxy-dodec-2E-enedioic acid on the basis of several data including 2D-NMR. (omitted)
